what did you do to lighten your car today?

[996 esquire]

I shaved all the hair off my forearms and legs - head is already gone.
I figured if major leaguers do it for bat speed, and swimmers do it for lap time, it's a no-brainer.

I really messed up.. I added weight but I couldnt figure out anything else to do...the light on the fuel gauge said "LOW"

so i skipped supper to help offset the onset

I was talking about his 914, not the car on the scales.

There is also no need to add, as it has a total weight displayed at the bottom.

finally took out the "boat anchor" battery and put in an etx14 by deka. turns right over!
36lbs lighter.

Pix??

I drove the p!$$ out of her from Destin Florida to Birmingham Al.....

[germanfan]

so i am so happy with the tail, fits great and the color is very close....unbelievable how heavy the stock tail and lid felt walking back in the house from the parking lot when i swapped them. btw the grill is metal, and the lower bars are slightly too wide for the recess on the tail. looked for a part number without taking it off but none visable. what are the best giveaways to the year the grill is for?

Chipped away at the rust bubble under the windsheild gasket

Newly discovered "winter project" today.....

[McLaren-TAG]

Fished out three fuses that had fallen (previous owners?) below the fusebox in the channel between the gas tank and the fender.

Replaced the heavy grill with the new lightweight model

[germanfan]

removed that silly turn down tip. looks better now....and i am faster...if only a little.

got rid of that old school stereo and installed a new one.


the bluetooth headset also lessens the noise from this....

thats were 22lbs worth of slow civil obedience used to reside(muffler)
then there is another hole...

thats where the spare/jack/and ac fan used to live...oh and the toolkit which is now rather small and relocated.

these came from a 85 944. took the skins off, covered, and modified for 911 seat belts. saved the weight of the original passenger seat.

[germanfan]

fogs are gone, i like my grills
bumper pad deletes and ducktail (fiberglass bumper is bought and waiting for a ride)

[germanfan]

took out the compressor, condenser, and one ac line. the rest soon. replaced w this...

[village idiot]

Eliminated about 15 gallons of gas this weekend

[germanfan]

took out this block of steel I never use, which exsposed that
piece of soundproofing, bonus find.

[nesslar]

Seems everything I do adds weight....but I like the improvements for the street.

[pdtweeks]

tweaked the window regulators while I had 'em out to repair pivot spring stay.....lost .65# per regulator

[ivangene]

was a bad boy...took off the AC compressor an condenser...then removed those big ole rubber bumper things with the license plate lights in them...damn I may never get this otherwise un-molested car back to original condition now....I have been so bad!
